FOUR THREE TWO ONE

Pledge of Allegiance, 100% you already can. Children are not obliged to participate is reciting it at all. They can remain seated and silent.

"[The administration] can’t, on their own, denaturalize people, they still have to go to a federal district court,” said Chisthi. “Denaturalization finally does belong to federal district courts – but they are obviously keen on finding every way they can to denaturalize people they think did not deserve to be naturalized.”

But what the administration can do is drag anyone and everyone they want into the courts, where they’ll either have to pay for their own attorney or go it alone, jump through hoops, miss work, incur travel expenses, and of course all the fucking stress that goes along with “this is the beginning of my being disappeared to a foreign gulag.”

They don’t care whether any specific individual is denaturalized. Some percentage will be, for good or bad “reasons.” Some will just give up and leave the country. Some will go on the run. Many will succeed in court, retaining their citizenship, as well as a whole lot of paranoia for the rest of their lives.

All of them will suffer from the process. The suffering is the point.

Better without the caption.

This Brandon Gill?

There’s so much Little t can be criticized for; this is the smallest of potatoes, and he certainly had nothing to do with it.

I mean, I see that you did, but he also didn’t “extend sanctions,” The Treasury Department extended sanction exclusions, very likely just as a matter of course to keep whatever agreements had previously been made in order.

What would please me more would be not posting false titles in the first place, because people are easily misled, whether that happens accidentally or purposefully. Facts matter.

Nope. Nope nope nope. Title is simply wrong.

(d) Effective June 27, 2025, General License No. 115A, dated January 10, 2025, is replaced and superseded in its entirety by this General License No. 115B.

115A is found here. That one does the exact same thing, and supersedes “General License No. 115, dated December 18, 2024” - which does the exact same thing, except only for GazPromBank.

All 115B does is extend the existing sanction exclusions - which were implemented during Biden’s term - to December 19, 2025.

So yeah, reading is fundamental.

Pritzker is good, as evidenced by the “Pritzker sucks” signs found across rural Illinois. My concern would be who would replace him as governor.

We are all playing in a World of Darkness game on this glorious day.

I promise this is relevant.

There’s more to grocery stores than just prices. Careful placement can mitigate the problem of food deserts, where people just don’t have reliable access to groceries, especially fresh foods. To my mind, it would be fine if such public groceries ran in the red, because robust public services should rank higher than profit when government is involved.

Nothing is unbreakable.

FWIW, Blumenthal voted against tabling impeachment, so there’s that.

Fucking Pelosi is one of the people who voted to table impeachment.

Look closer. The blue stripe in the flag is a darker shade than the vertical blue stripe of the background.

It’s been pointed out that the hi res image shows that it is transparent. Still, in this image, it appears not to be.

Oh no you’re right - Atlanta, Chicago, LA metro areas are all on par with NYC.

But … the NYC metro area arguably stretches beyond DC now.

NYC is more than twice the size of any of those cities. It’s still the city.

e: And Atlanta proper is only half a million people. It’s the metro area that’s got the population. Lots of mayors.

FWIW, NYC is the city.
